	Movies - List of programs and machines in the Matrix series

==Agents==

Agents are a group of anti-virus programs within the Matrix, guarding the Matrix from anyone or anything that could reveal it as a false reality.

Original Agents

Three agents originally appeared in The Matrix. Smith also appears in the following movies, though not as an Agent.

Agent Brown

Agent Brown is one of the original Agents. He chased Trinity across the roof in the first scene of The Matrix. After Agent Smith was believed to be destroyed, the Machines upgraded their agent programs, making Agent Brown obsolete. Presumably, he was deleted. Brown also appeared in the comic story "There Are No Flowers in the Real World" presumably set prior to the events of The Matrix.

Agent Jones

Agent Jones is one of the original agents. He is the agent shooting at Neo in the famous scene where he dodges bullets and is one of the few characters to appear in both the Matrix comics and one of the Matrix movies. He was presumably deleted when the agent programs were upgraded.

Agent Smith

Agent Smith lead agents Brown and Jones in a mission against the Nebuchadnezzar and was "killed" by Neo. Instead of returning to the Source to be deleted, he chose to become an exile and caused havoc throughout the Matrix. No longer as an Agent, he increased his powers by taking over new human bodies and programs alike (including Agents) without leaving his previous body, replicating himself much like a computer virus might. He later became the "opposite" of the equation, according to the Oracle, meaning that he was the opposite of Neo.

Upgraded Agents

In Reloaded, the agent programs were upgraded. Their shells are more muscular than the original agents and they are able to block a blow from Neo, who previously had no trouble defeating the agents.

Agent Johnson

Agent Johnson is one of the upgraded agents. He appears to be the leader of the upgraded agents and fights with Morpheus to try and kill the Keymaker.

Agent Thompson

Agent Thompson is one of the upgraded agents. During the 'Burly Brawl' between Neo and ex-Agent Smith's, Smith posseses Agent Thompson. Only the host is overwritten and Thompson returns. He later confronts, shoots and 'kills' Trinity in Neo's dream sequence at the end of Reloaded.

Agent Jackson

Agent Jackson is one of the upgraded agents of the Matrix. He returns later to help Agent Thompson fight Trinity at the end of Reloaded.

Other Agents

Many other agents have appeared in the Animatrix and the Matrix comics. Agents Ash, Bird, Finn, and White are the only agents named there, but others have appeared as well. Along with other Agents in the game The Matrix: Online, Agents Skinner and Pace (a female agent) are named.

The Architect

The Architect is first encountered by Neo appearing as a manicured, humorless bureaucrat sitting in a room whose walls are covered by television screens in a pivotal scene in Matrix Reloaded. These TV screens also appeared in 'The Matrix' when Neo is sitting in the interrogation room. Although the Architect is not seen, it is implied that he was watching the interrogation. He reveals himself to Neo as being the creator of the Matrix and is played by Helmut Bakaitis. A sentient computer program, he appears as a white-bearded old man (bearing a vague similarity to some Christian depictions of God and also to Colonel Sanders, plus diametrically opposed to the preferred shell of the Oracle, that of a black woman). In an extended period of convoluted dialogue, the Architect explains that his role is to "balance the equation" of the Matrix.

B1-66ER

B1-66ER was a machine during the time before the Matrix when humans still controlled the machines. He killed his master and another man and claimed it was in self defense, because they were planning to have him destroyed. He was declared guilty and destroyed, leading to the genocide of many other machines and eventually the war and the Matrix.

Deus Ex Machina

Deus Ex Machina is an entity which appears near the end of The Matrix Revolutions
in the Machine City. It communicates with Neo by causing a swarm of insect-like robots to form a child's face in front of its own body, which resembles a mechanical star. To Neo, the Deus Ex appears as a Sun.
